Force programs to use & go through proxy [closed]

"Check out Proxifier. Combined with an SSH tunnel, you should be able to get most programs through any proxy.

My school (and all the others in my state) have a quite elaborate web filtering proxy set up which blocks most ports on the other side of the proxy. I managed to get around it using a combination of the programs mentioned above on Windows.

Just create an SSH tunnel using Putty as necessary, and then set Proxifier to use the tunnel as its proxy. This should route traffic of all ports through the proxies."

"To the best of my knowledge, Steam uses the default proxy settings in Internet Explorer. You can run into issues if you use a proxy script, but they're easy to work around. Just dig around in the script for the proxy addresses and set them up as your proxies, and Steam should work just fine.

If you continue to have issues, you should look on the Steam forums. Valve's Steam developers typically troll the tech support/help forums and provide assistance where necessary.

If you're having issues with individual Steam games, you're probably out of luck, since they tend to use specific ports."

"For Windows there is a free utility, called KKcap:

KKCap, a free proxy software Providing support to SOCKS5, Shadowsocks,
etc. A free alternative to proxy software like Proxifier or SSTap.
Also a light-weight alternative to VPN. Supports from Windows XP to
Windows 10. Redirect connections from of any internet app.

You should configure it for programs which you want to go through your proxy."
